	Arabella Hornby has been a member of the Tower since 2018. She has taken part in The Canterbury Tales, Five Women and two short plays during the Love and Survival Festival. Prior to joining the Tower, she worked as a professional immersive theatre actress for the company Secret Cinema, as well as producing and starring in a production of Constellations at the Hen and Chickens Theatre in London. Alongside acting, Bella is currently training to become an art teacher at Goldsmiths.			Emily Deane trained at The Actors' Temple Studio 2019/20. Her stage credits include Clare/Louise in Road, Mary Boleyn in Wolf Hall and most recently Becky in Bridget both virtually and as part of the Tower Theatre's Opening Up programme in summer 2021. When she's not acting, Emily works as a freelance journalist specialising in beauty, interiors and weddings.
	Having graduated from London School of Dramatic Art in 2016, Alexa Wall performed in plays such as Roots as Beatie Bryant, Girls and Dolls as Clare and Got to Be Happy as Caroline. She then went on to become a Radio DJ for some of London's biggest internet radio stations. This is her second show at the Tower Theatre; she appeared as Harriet Bailey in The Canterbury Tales.			Michaela Forssblad trained at the Guildford School of Acting during 2020/2021. This is her first production at the Tower Theatre.
	Ruth Sullivan has been a Tower member for 14 years and has performed, directed, choreographed and designed sound for many productions in that time. Her most recent play as a director for the Tower was King Charles III which was a large scale ensemble piece but she does have some experience of monologues, having performed in Happy Days. During the lockdown she was part of Virtual Tower and the Tower podcast, both directing and performing. As a Foley Artist she’s usually found in a dark studio, making sounds for TV drama and film (as well as an occasional foray into radio) and regularly works with directors such as Katie Mitchell and Simon McBurney to create and perform live theatre sound. She’s one of the Tower’s three Artistic Directors.
